Yes, the link you gave is the plain. The main other thing that I

That's the type of stuff I'd like to put some energy into. I'm happy to
send individual comments/fixes in, but if there's something I can do
that would be more valuable, I'd like to take a look at it. My interest
in this is getting exposure for ObjC and the related frameworks.
Exposure and presentation are linked, which is why I offered myself as
a resource in that area. I don't want to step on toes, just trying to
see if there's somewhere I can help.
MacIE5 is another story. It has this interesting "behavior" that
basically boils down to this:
If these conditions are met for a given CSS box (div container):
1: The box contains block-level display elements
2. The box has an undefined width
... the box will not automatically scale to the minimum size
required for its content.
Instead, it will grow to the maximum size allowed by its parent.
There is no undefined width. It is auto.
Poor phrasing on my part. The problem described above shows up when the
width is set to "auto", which happens to be the default value.
It is meant to be the intrinsic width, not the maximum.
I understand. It's a long-standing problem. I suppose you could just
point people at Safari or some Gecko derivative. It's inconvenient for
the viewer, but hopefully not a deal breaker.
If we take
enough can you licence them under GPL or something suitable (PD
whatever)?
Then, I think we'll give you a link from a credits and copyright
page.
PD is probably the easiest. GPL would be fine too, but in practice
I'm not sure there's much difference when you're dealing with a web
page. It's hard to deteremine what derivative works really are.
Possibly.
Can you subscribe to gnustep-webmasters and discuss this there? I
think others may have views on this.
I'm open to whatever will work best. If we're putting GPL tag on a
block of HTML or CSS, I just want to understand what that would
actually mean.
Thanks,
